With winter still bringing occasional cold snaps, low-income Missourians who face sudden heating problems have help. Missouri’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program has recently been expanded and updated to reflect inflation’s impact on increased energy costs. The program has two components, with one providing financial assistance to help pay energy bills. There’s also a crisis component for disruptions in service. Jeriane Jaegers-Brenneke with the Missouri Department of Social Services says the crisis program goes beyond financial emergencies.
She says crisis program applications are processed within 48 hours, and in circumstances where energy disconnection creates a life-threatening situation, applications are processed within 18 hours. For info on utility assistance, visit dss.mo.gov under services.
